Mischa could tell Karina did not want to speak of Strom. Why? She probably was not like typical girls who loved to speak every detail about their boyfriends but the avoidance of speaking about hers? It was surprising. Still Mischa continued to feel a little more relieved and even somewhat...happy? that she did not.

Apparently he could not keep this faint happiness as he did something he rarely did. He smiled at Karina's joke. Well it was not a big one but his lips did curl upwards. "Nov vhy vould I do that?'' he asked. No. He would never harm this pretty girl.

"Maybe I vill,'' Mischa added. He pushed back his chair and walked towards the counter.
